On behalf of the Board of Directors and members, I am sad to report that our former financial director Iain Tweedie has sadly passed away after a short Illness. Iain was a truly genuine person, he was also an integral part of the Scottish Darts Association until his retrial, but even then Iain was always on hand to offer advice to others, one of the unsung heroes of our Organisation.
We send our sincere condolences to Marlyn, family and friends.
